A have a baby book that has a page where you can list things like how much a gallon of milk costs, how much a gallon of gas costs, the cost of a postage stamp, a dozen eggs, etc. Every day things that, by the time LO is 18, will be MUCH more expensive! lol
It also has a place for each of us to write him a letter.

Thats a really good idea.my baby book doesnt have that but I might shove a bit of paper in with it all on.lol

I also wish I had kept the newspaper from the day she was born.and number one in the chart was rage against the machine

I think its easier to find stuff once LO is born.we have all the cards we were sent to congratulate us in the box and a silver bird that was on a beauquet ( <- cant spell?) of flowers that my work place sent me. Also,all the hospital tags that mum and baby get!!

Ive put my LOs 'home outfit' from hospital in my one x

Yeah I wish I had the newspaper too. I have his going home outfit and a bunch of my favorite outfits that we put him in when he was really young. All the cards from my shower and a favor from the shower

Most of the above i have in plus coins from the year of their birth and i dried and pressed a couple of flowers from the bunch of flowers my OH gave me when each of them was born

We have a little box that we have kept a few things in from when she was really little - the hat she wore home from the hospital, a newborn sized nappy, and the hospital tags. We also made a scrapbook and stuck all the cards that we received from friends and family congratulating us on her birth. My parents did this and I still look through my cards every once and awhile.
